A few years ago, after eating a few too many turkey sandwiches and watching several tummy turning documentaries about the food industry, I became a vegetarian.

Our main financial goal is to pay off our last non-mortgage loan. It was a goal in 2018, but high medical bills and other financial challenges hindered our progress. For the month of January, I am eliminating foods where sugar is the primary ingredient, such as desserts, sugary drinks, pastries, etc.
